If you follow this space for a while then yes, this is a repost. But I feel like it's one that needs to be reposted because I'm getting totally annoyed with readers who think they're above others because they don't read fiction. If you're bragging that you don't ever read fiction then you're not as open minded ass (pun INTENDED!) you think you are. Maybe you need a good bit of fantasy to take away this need you have to make other booklovers feel crap about themselves.
But for those who enjoy fiction, let's share why we love this genre so much, shall we?

Yesterday while casually scrolling through my Twitter newsfeed I came across a few angry posts aimed at a well known author who just released a new book. I then saw some more posts on a few bookstagrammers stories where they outright said this book was racist.

These days I’ve been really into BookTube, and I have to say that I am very much in love with that part of the internet. I can never tire of watching hauls, reviews, bookstore tours and monthly wrap ups; because obviously I want to learn as much as possible about the latest and greatest happenings in the book community. BookTube has been an incredible way for me to do this.
As a book blogger I feel it’s important to make yourself more knowledgeable concerning books so that you can be better informed about what books to recommend or put up on your space.
